The correct Answer is:
To determine which quantity has the dimensional formula \(ML^{-1}T^{-2}\), we will analyze the dimensional formulas of various physical quantities. ### Step 1: Identify the quantities to analyze We need to check the dimensional formulas of the following quantities: 1. Temperature 2. Kinetic Energy 3. Pressure 4. Angular Speed ### Step 2: Analyze each quantity 1. **Temperature**: - The dimensional formula of temperature is denoted as \(T\). - **Dimensional Formula**: \(T\) 2. **Kinetic Energy**: - Kinetic energy is given by the formula \(KE = \frac{1}{2}mv^2\). - Here, \(m\) has the dimension of mass, which is \(M\), and \(v\) (velocity) has the dimension \(L T^{-1}\). - Therefore, \(v^2\) has the dimension \(L^2 T^{-2}\). - Thus, the dimensional formula for kinetic energy is: \[ KE = M \cdot (L^2 T^{-2}) = ML^2 T^{-2} \] - **Dimensional Formula**: \(ML^2 T^{-2}\) 3. **Pressure**: - Pressure is defined as force per unit area. - The dimensional formula for force is \(F = ma = MLT^{-2}\). - Area has the dimension \(L^2\). - Therefore, the dimensional formula for pressure is: \[ P = \frac{F}{\text{Area}} = \frac{MLT^{-2}}{L^2} = ML^{-1}T^{-2} \] - **Dimensional Formula**: \(ML^{-1}T^{-2}\) 4. **Angular Speed**: - Angular speed is defined as the angle (in radians) per unit time. - The angle is dimensionless, and time has the dimension \(T\). - Therefore, the dimensional formula for angular speed is: \[ \text{Angular Speed} = \frac{\text{Angle}}{T} = \frac{1}{T} \] - **Dimensional Formula**: \(T^{-1}\) ### Step 3: Conclusion From the analysis, we find that the only quantity with the dimensional formula \(ML^{-1}T^{-2}\) is **Pressure**. ### Final Answer The quantity that has the dimensional formula \(ML^{-1}T^{-2}\) is **Pressure**. ---
